Granted, I should have expected this, I have a 2013 Macbook Air running an 1.3Ghz i5 Core with an 128GB SSD, with 4GBS of RAM.
In other words, not a computer meant to store lots of RAW files.
In my frustration of discovering that I couldn't actually store any files on my computer to edit, I became creative, and did my research.
Ultimately, I landed on temporarily using Google Photos associated with my RMC Google account (lots of storage included), and I have the option to upload "original, RAW" files enabled.
I could have juggled an external hard drive, flash drives, etc., and as my job is in IT, I have a lot of these devices hanging around, but I've discovered a central issue with external devices: I lose them. All of the time.
Given this, cloud storage seemed like the best alternative until I can upgrade my computer.
Although I still have storage issues on my computer(Lightroom is a HUGE application) , landing on Google Photos has saved a lot of frustration in figuring out what I'm deleting off of my Mac next.
